Hi. This is Astarit, the main character of an story I've in mind (I'm trying to do some kind of comic book). She is based on Steph model. It's a very simple character (she's a thieve and this is the 'standar' outfit); she is cute and small, but fierce. I like how she looks, except for the legs... I'd prefer something like Voluptuous Vicky instead. It's suppossed to have muscular legs but with curves... Is there any place where I could find some morphs for her? Any suggestion on how to improve her? Thanks in advance. zarquen.

Legs should be easy to fix. How does she handle close-ups?

Why not try Steffy Stax or Steffy Styles? They have awesome deformers for the clothing.

you could try increasing the size parameters of the legs using the xscale+zscale dials--that would increase the thickness of the legs without you needing to use or create morphs.... if you needed to you could taper the shins to fit back inside the boots....

Great start on the character. I love the hair, whose is it?

She looks good, but like you say the thighs are too thin, I also think the upper arms are too thin in their y direction. You can make your own morphs to beef up the thighs and arms, just use magnets.

Select the left thigh then apply a magnet, from the Object>Properties>Add Element to Deforme, select the Left Buttock and click OK, then add the left shin. X scale the mag, adjust the mag zone untill you get the desired effect, then spawn a morph targt for each affected part. Now do the same for the right leg. I find morphs often work better than scale dials in these situations.

There should be some Steph based characters in freestuff that you can steal morphs from ... I have at least three, but with no readme's I don't know where they came from. Poserstyle has FemmeFatale for Steph .. but its part of their subscription site. Do you have Aiko(for sale at DAZ)? you can swipe her morphs via MorphManager ... she has nice curvy thighs

@ Ihiannan, Looks like Mehndi's Ultrasalon hair to me. Available at DAZ in the Special Intrest section of the site.
